Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00073
The Historic Preservation Fund Grants-in-Aid to State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) is a National Park Service program under the U.S. Department of the Interior that provides grant funding to support the day-to-day operation and core responsibilities of SHPOs. The opportunity is designed for the official preservation offices serving the 50 states, the District of Columbia, five U.S. territories, and three Freely Associated States. Funding is tied to the work that SHPOs are expected to carry out under the National Historic Preservation Act, with activities guided by the Historic Preservation Fund Grants Manual and, where applicable, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards.
At its core, the program exists to help states and equivalent jurisdictions identify, evaluate, and protect historic properties. In practice, that includes activities like statewide and local surveys of historic resources, preservation planning, and providing technical assistance to communities, agencies, nonprofits, and property owners. It also supports work connected to federal preservation tools and programs, such as helping administer or promote federal tax incentives for historic properties, and strengthening the National Register of Historic Places by expanding and improving nominations and documentation. The overall aim is to build and maintain statewide preservation capacity so that historic places can be identified early, evaluated fairly, and managed responsibly as communities develop and change.
Awards under this opportunity are matching grants, meaning recipients are expected to provide a non-federal share consistent with program rules. The program is mandatory in the sense that it is a standing federal assistance mechanism that supports the established SHPO system rather than a one-off discretionary competition for general applicants. All funded work must align with and support the National Historic Preservation Act (54 USC 301 et seq.), which establishes the national framework for historic preservation and defines the roles that SHPOs play in coordinating preservation efforts across federal, state, and local levels.
